Should Mario Cuomo Run For President?

The Orlando Sentinel - SOUND OFF

December 15, 1991

Many candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination are in Orlando this weekend for the state party's convention, which will include the first-in-the-nation presidential straw poll. Not officially a candidate, but a person many are watching, is New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. Many Democrats unhappy with the candidate lineup so far think he would be the strongest challenge to George Bush. Many Republicans think that if he were the Democratic challenger, his Northeast-liberal background would make him vulnerable. Others think he would liven up the race and focus on some real issues. What do you think? Should Mario Cuomo run for president? Calls will be accepted through noon Monday. Read the results in Tuesday's Sentinel.
